Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes made it through the team's offseason program just months after surgery to repair two ligaments in his left knee, and coach Andy Reid is optimistic that the two-time MVP will be ready for training camp next month. Mahomes was excused Thursday from the traditional running test that Reid uses to wrap up his mandatory minicamps. But even that conditioning test, Reid said, Mahomes "probably could've done it and made it, I'm sure, with will." "I love what he did this offseason, the way he attacked the rehab," Reid said. "He's on course to ... get ready for camp." Mahomes, who signed a lucrative contract extension on Wednesday, has been spending the offseason in Kansas City, rather than his home in Texas, so that he can continue rehabbing with the Chiefs staff. That includes Julie Frymyer, their head physical therapist, who has helped Mahomes overcome other injuries throughout his NFL career. "The healing process has to keep taking place," Reid said. "He gets periodic checks, but he's been working close with Julie on the rehab part of it. Then he comes out and practices he does rehab before practice, comes to practice, then goes after practice." The spare-no-second schedule is designed to get Mahomes ready to start against the Broncos in Week 1 on Sept. 14. Being ready for training camp at the end of July would be even better. "You just kind of take it day by day, I think. It looks like he's going to be able to do some things during camp," Reid said. "He did it out here, so I would presume in 40 days he'll be even better than that. So we'll just see where it goes, and you go through peaks and valleys in this thing in rehabs where you might plateau for a little bit, and you don't know when those are going to take place. But so far, it's been a pretty steady climb up the hill there." Mahomes signed a restructured contract Wednesday, which adds two years to the deal through the 2033 season and pushes the total compensation to $504.75 million, with incentives and escalators that could send the value to $522.25 million. Mahomes would be 38 in the final year of the contract, meaning he might well finish his career playing in Kansas City. "Listen, he's done a great job as a professional, and then off the field as a father and husband, so you got the whole package there," Reid said. "He's a great representative and a heck of a football player." Chiefs Expect Other Injured Players Back By Training Camp In other news, Reid said first-round draft pick Mansoor Delane was held out of the mandatory minicamp because of a relatively minor shoulder injury. The cornerback should be ready for the start of training camp at Missouri Western State University. Wide receiver Rashee Rice also should be ready for camp after rehabbing a minor knee surgery while serving out a jail sentence. The procedure to clean debris out of his right knee took place about a week before Rice was ordered to jail for violating the terms of his probation for his role in a car crash that left multiple people injured. The 26-year-old Rice was booked into the Dallas County jail on May 19 he's been allowed out for supervised rehab work and he is due to be released Tuesday. "(Chiefs trainer) Rick (Burkholder) has talked to him more than what I have," Reid said, "just making sure that everything was set where he could do some rehab with it and still do the time that he needed to take care of. So he's been on top of that, and thank good they're allowing him to do it. They've been great with that." What About Travis Kelce's Upcoming Wedding to Pop Star Taylor Swift? Reid said his plan for the six weeks until training camp is to "step away," but he sidestepped a question on whether "stepping away" involved attending the wedding of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop superstar Taylor Swift next month. The exact date and location presumably Madison Square Garden in New York has been a closely guarded secret. "Cant talk about it," Reid said, smiling. "Listen, hes been here most of the offseason, if not the whole offseason. Hes been around and its good to have him. He did the mandatory camp and did a nice job there, so its good to have him back in and rolling. Hes very excited. You see no distractions with that and the wedding. If its like when I got married, my wife did everything, so I just kind of followed her lead on it, showed up, right? Maybe hes doing more but he looks like hes pretty focused in on this job here, too." Reporting by the Associated Press.

CBF's US Strategy: How Brazil's League Reform Connects to MLSCBF held an inaugural meeting with representatives of clubs from the Brazilian Serie A and B championships and the State Federations to begin the debate on the creation of a Football League in Brazil, with CBF president Samir Xaud calling it "a historic day for Brazilian football" as clubs came together "to discuss an issue that will define our future: the creation of a single league." The meetings represent the latest phase in CBF's broader internationalization strategy, which includes bringing Brazilian stakeholders to the United States to study league governance models.CBF's Miami Office as Strategic HubThe move marks the first step in a broader global network designed to strengthen the CBF brand, deepen commercial partnerships, engage the Brazilian diaspora, and expand technical collaboration with the United States Soccer Federation and Major League Soccer. Located near key stakeholders such as FIFA and CONCACAF, the Miami office operates as an embassy for Brazilian football, supporting sponsorship deals, institutional relationships, youth scouting initiatives, and women's development.Since opening the Miami office five to six months ago, CBF has already seen tangible results, closing new agreements with major companies such as Uber, Volkswagen, and iFood. These partnerships are the direct result of the relationships and communication being built from Miami within the broader CBF ecosystem.Learning from MLS Governance StructureThe analysis was deepened following an international immersion in Europe in January, when the Brazilian delegation learned about concepts, governance models and strategies used by the leagues and federations of England, Germany and Spain on topics such as financial fair play, technology and the professionalization of refereeing. The US meetings extend this research to North American models, particularly MLS's structure.The national governing organisation said that the league is undervalued and presented a plan to finalise the league's statutes by the end of 2026. If successful, the process could end the competition's division into two rival blocks of clubs FFU and Libra which has handicapped the league. At present, the two blocks compete over revenue and commercial rights.The Structural ChallengeCBF presented studies carried out since the first months of the current administration to show the full untapped potential of Brazilian football, whose top national division is nevertheless the sixth most valuable league in the world. The CBF listed a series of problems that needed addressing in Brazilian club football, including the match calendar, kick-off times, stadium infrastructure, financial fair play and marketing."The league needs to belong to the clubs. That is a fundamental, non-negotiable principle. CBF will be present, with an active role as mediator and one of the leaders of the process." This approach mirrors MLS's club-centric governance model, where individual franchises maintain significant autonomy within a centralized structure.Implications for US SoccerToday, there is significant movement between Brazil and MLS. Many Brazilian players are coming to MLS, and there are also transfers from MLS clubs to the Brazilian league, which is organized by CBF. Because of this exchange, it's essential for CBF to stay informed and bring the best insights and information back into our ecosystem.A unified Brazilian league could strengthen the player pipeline between Brazil and MLS, particularly as the 2026 World Cup approaches. International groups such as City Group and Red Bull GmbH have invested in Brazilian clubs, representing an important cultural change for Brazilian football and bringing the model closer, in some ways, to what we see in the United States. In Brazil, investors can now own clubs, but the leagues and competitions are still organized and run by the CBF.CBF's US presence positions Brazilian football to capitalize on North America's growing soccer market while potentially creating more structured pathways for talent exchange and commercial partnerships with MLS ahead of the World Cup.
